Awesome looks like everyone has checked in let's get this rolling!

I need to make a couple purchases in Absalom right before we leave, sorry.

I have currently 20 fame, so my buying limit is 5250 gp.

I'm buying a Masterwork Tekko-Kagi(Ultimate Combat), 3 potions of Enlarge Person, 50ft of Hempen rope and an Amulet of Mighty Fists Sapping(Dirty Tactics Handbook, I can send you a screen shot of the page, I have it as a PDF)

All told this purchase comes to 4353 gp.

Sounds great Beauregard -- if easier just cut and paste the details of what it does since it's a new item. That will be fine. Either way.

I have it included in my character sheet under Special Abilities, I just wasn't sure how to show a source material via play-by-post!

Very cool item! So is it a variant of the Amulet of Mighty Fists or an enhancement to it?

Yeah, it depends on the GM. Some want to see screenshots or pictures. Others will take you word that you have the resource.

Yeah it's a +1 weapon enhancement put on to an amulet of mighty fists. Like an Amulet of might fists Frost but in this case Sapping!

Dirty tactics is a great book and 100% recommend picking it up !

@ GM: I bought a dire collar for Nuk. It allows Elska to enlarge Nuk for 1 min., 1/day.

This leather collar resizes to fit almost any size of creature. Once per day on command, the creature that fastened the dire collar to the animal can cause that animal to grow larger and more bestial. The collar’s fastener must be within 30 feet of the animal to do so. The animal gains the benefits of an enlarge person spell (despite the normal targeting restrictions of that spell) for 1 minute.

I also bought a quiver of arrows (to replenish spent arrows) and two spring-loaded wrist sheaths.

Sorry about posting under the wrong alias! ACK!

I won't be able to post again until late tomorrow night, PST. I made some Knowledge checks on the Gameplay thread in case you need them. I'll let other players ask questions of Amara Li. :)

@Elska -- no worries it happens, I did it a few days ago in a game I'm playing in LOL.

Sorry slow to post, that was a longer one and didn't have time to sit and work on it till now. We are off and running! This should be fun!

1. Miyako Okori

5. Diplomacy (Caravan vanity): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

As I was just able to check the 2nd box on my season 6 Faction Journal Card, I have gained the following reward:

"Entrepreneur: Once per game session, you may either purchase an item found on one of your Chronicle sheets at a 5% discount, or gain a +5 circumstance bonus on your Day Job check. This discount stacks with similar abilities for a maximum discount of 15%."

As you're supposed to roll your Day Jobs at the end of a scenario, I'd like to add the +5 circumstance bonus from this reward to the Day Job check I'd rolled in advance. This changes my Day Job check to 26.

Sounds good Miyako. If I mess this up at the end just remind me.

@ Everyone: The only social skill that Elska is any good at is Sense Motive (+8). She is happy to hang back and watch for the reactions of nobles as others do the talking.

Since these are Elves, I have a +10 to Intimidate them, so I can try the Intimidate option.

My trait, Masterful Demeanor gives me a +3 to Intimidate vs Non-Human Humanoids, Its from Cheliax, Empire of Devils.

Hey GM Chaosorbit, it has been brought to my attention that Sapping wasn't made legal from the Dirty Tactics Handbook, I had checked the AR when it updated as I was eagerly awaiting for this book to be made legal and must have just had my Selective Reading Glasses on when I read over what was and wasn't legal.

If its okay with you I'll switch it to the Merciful weapon enhancement which does the same sort of thing just with more/different limitations.

Bummer. Yeah feel free to switch.

Mido has a +7 Diplomacy modifier which he can boost by 1 with guidance.

I'm currently a bit indisposed...

Hey guys, I probably won't be back to the game until Friday. We got hit with a big windstorm last night and my house lost power. My neighborhood looks a little like a war zone with all the downed trees (full grown ponderosa pines and blue spruces).

I've been scrambling to get a lot done today because I'm leaving town tomorrow. We still don't have power, and probably won't anytime soon. So I need to finish prepping the house for an extended cold spell.

Codanous (Bo) and I live in the same city, and I'm happy to say that he still has power. :)

Feel free to GM-bot Elska and Nuk if you need to.

Thanks. :)

Best of luck getting your power back on and enjoy your time out of town.

I just got internet back but its been pretty spotty so no real guarantee, yeah where The Fox lives is pretty crazy, some 200-year old Pines blown down, not the kind of weather we get in our area.

This part is very roleplay intensive, everyone doing okay? Do I need to drop a few more bread crumbs? Let me know.

Not sure of what we can do about the psychic control, but I figure we should tackle one thing at a time and first assure we get Lady Shiori's vote.

Fair plan, Miyako.

Agreed! :)

I concur

Let me know if you want to show the candle the cradle. Also if you intent to fight the 'Talons' let me know what your plan is, you expect that they will attack at midnight.

What is psychometry?

If you look back at the first page, the GM posted a description of the item. There are three psychic skill unlocks that it allows us to use, one of which is psychometry. That's what I was rolling for. We can all try it using Appraise checks, thanks to the abilities of the candle.

I think you mean This post.

But what does it do? What is psychometry?

How did you know that you use Appraise to do psychometry? Do we use Appraise for the other two skill unlocks also? And it looks like we can try them only once each, not over and over again, is that correct?

I'm just super confused.

I went to look at the Skill Unlocks section here. The other two skills are Sense Motive (Prognostication) and Read Aura (Perception). I figured based on the description of psychometry it would be the most likely thing to allow the venture captain to determine what he needed to from the cradle.

Ok. Thank you. That helps clear things up a lot.

Was waiting to see if anyone else besides Mido expressed the need for caution in removing the cradle. Trust me it's more fun this way![wicked GM laugh :-)]

What is 'caution'? ;)

Can one apply a weapon Blanche to unarmed strikes?

my gut reaction is to lean toward saying no since PRD says:

When poured on a weapon and placed over a hot flame for a full round, they melt and form a temporary coating on the weapon.

But I can't find anywhere where it specifically says you can't, so I guess provided a hot flame is available. You could apply it but would take 1d6 fire damage from it.

Unless anyone knows otherwise.

Mido will have to do without then as it requires a full round action. Hope you folks have some +1 weapons at the ready Mido will be largely useless this combat...

FYI -- The DR is actually silver and good (not magic).

Also Giltman also cast Bless, so one of you might want to try another action.

Silver AND good?!? Yikes. I'm only level 3. :)

OR

Sorry

Whew! :D

I have 5 silver arrows, I will need to make them count, I guess.

Oh thank goodness! I can't make my weapons silver but I CAN make them good-aligned, so that helps immensely!

Mido doesn't really have anything besides Bless that he can do here...

I think we should fall back to the tavern. The daemons have a big advantage out in the open.

Was getting long winded, so better to post this over here.

@Mido Yes, the spell is enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting], so your +8 would be in effect. Sorry I miss that, although looks like still failed the first time.

Yeah these are quite challenging opponents! The GM forums are full of tales of TPKs. I'm not really about that, so I'm staying true to the tactics as written. I don't mind, if you all feel like you were in the fight of your life though! At the end of the day I like the heroes to win, but sometimes that doesn't happen, lets hope this isn't one of those times!
